I know some people here want also try this kind of software. Now I've found there is a free version of the program I use. I use ZBrush and the free version is Sculptris. Of course this program has fewer options, but I think this is a good way for trying this way of sculpting. I thought, let me just mention for lovers. :)

Hi all, it's a long time since I've posted something, so I want to let you hear I'd not quit. Sadly I had nearly no time for creating new models I make very long days with my internship, so time for modeling is rare. There are still a lot of animals in the queue for finishing, so maybe I'll show soon some sneakpeeks. Hopefully I can release soon some new models on my site. :)

Stijn,He looks great so far! In fact besides the circled blemishes the only thing it see that I would change is the legs, they should be much more bulky or sturdy for such a strong and massive bull, besides that I don't see too much more to do but I know nothing about 3-D printing so I defer to you as the expert.

Yeah, you're right. I've to make him far more muscular. And the blemishes in the circles are my working points The biggest point is the target on this side of the model and the small one is the mirrored point, so first te model is completly symmetric, till I give him a pose.

I want to show you an other sneakpeek yet. I'm not only working on African animals, so here you can see my first unfinished Indian animal (mother and calf). Hope you'll like them:[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

That is interesting, I thought they were imperfections and the circle was highlighting the area to correct them.

The Indian mother and calf look fantastic as well, I can't wait to see them finished!

Thank you all!I want to show you an other sneakpeek yet. I'm not only working on African animals, so here you can see my first unfinished Indian animal (mother and calf). Hope you'll like them:

This is a very interesting project but I would have a request... Indian rhinos are common animals in the Toy world and even if your sculptures are very fine, it is still one more Indian rhino. The real rare rhinos are the Sumatran and Javan rhinos. Joan already made a Sumatran rhino model for us. Wouldn't it be fun for you (and us...) to make a Javan rhino and calf ?

I agree with Christophe, if you make a Javan rhino, you'll keep enriching your Asian fauna and all other good reasons Christophe gave. Also, and although I don't understand perfectly how it works, you can use the work already done and with little changes turn it in a Javan rhino, both species are very alike.Another point is that contrarily what happens with elephants that are poorly sculpted by major brands, Indian rhinos from Papo and Safari are really nice.

Yes, I think you and Christophe are right. The reason I those for the Indian, is the lack of good reference pics of the Javan. But you are right. With some little changes I can turn an Indian one in a Javan one. I think I'll do this in some time.

But now I want to show you the nearly finished Watusi cow. Only the udder need some work, and I must make him hollow, but that to things can only on a stronger computer, so that's for next weekend. I hope you'll like her:[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Thank you. What's the name of your program? Is this possible to make a figure with the program before to do the connexions between the 3D printer and the computer ? How cost a model of the lying watusi to know?

I used the program ZBrush. What do you exactly mean with your next question? The price I don't know yet. Shapeways, the company who print the models, calculate the price with the cm3 material the model is made of. So, I have not made the model hollow yet, so I don't know how many cm3 material this model will be. And it depends of the scale you want.

Thank you for your answer. My question was; Is this possible to start to make a model with the computer without being connected to a 3D printer? So we can start making images by internet before to have the printer?

Yes, you can make a model without connected to a 3D printer. I don't own a 3D printer by myself, so that's no problem. I place my models on Shapeways, they have 3D printers and everyone can order the models, and will be send home printed.
